U2's "Bullet The Blue Sky" In the howling wind Comes a stinging rain See it driving nails Into the souls of the tree of pain From the firefly, a red-orange glow See the face of fear Running scared in the valley below (Sky) Oooh oh oh oh (Sky) Oooh oh oh oh Bullet the blue sky (Sky) Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue Bullet the blue In the locust wind Comes a rattle and hum Jacob wrestled the angel And the angel was overcome Plant a demon seed You raise a flower of fire See them burning crosses See the flames higher and higher (Sky) Oooh oh oh oh (Sky) Oooh oh oh oh Bullet the blue sky (Sky) Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue Bullet the blue Suit and tie come up to me His face red Like a rose on a thorn bush Like all the colours of a royal flush And he's peeling off those dollar bills Slapping them down "One hundred!" "Two hundred!" And I can see those fighter planes And I can see those fighter planes Across the mud huts as the children sleep Through the alleys and the quiet city street Up the staircase to the first floor We turn the key and slowly unlock the door A man breaths into his saxophone Through the walls we hear the city groan Outside is America Outside is America ...America Across the field You see the sky ripped open See the rain pouring through the gaping wound Pounding the women and children Who run....into the arms..... ...of America -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, as in many things, it is slightly open to interpretation. But from reading the lyrics and reading a few books where Bono talks about the song... It is musically supposed to represent the bombings of El Salvadorian towns during its civil war by US planes. It is about the United States' policy of supporting dictators in 3rd world countries to oppose the spread of communism. But more than all this, it is about the way war destroys people. dtek.chalmers.se
